Loyola Redline Mugging This Weekend

I'm not seeing it in the news yet but apparently a young man was mugged Saturday night and has now died from the head trauma he sustained. A friend of his posted this on facebook. "He was found early Saturday morning at the Loyola station in Chicago. He was laying at the bottom of the stairs with his wallet missing and with serious head trauma." This is all the info I have and just wanted my neighbors to be aware.

Very real story. Not fake news. The man died yesterday. I'm sure the murder will go unreported as such and be classified as an accident. Camera at the station was not functioning either. His name was Julian Hall.

Eric Julian Hall, originally from Jasper, Indiana was known by many as a bartender at The Bar on Buena in Uptown and also The Green Lady on Lincoln Avenue in Lakeview. Death notices have not yet appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times or the Dubois County Herald (Jasper, IN).

Wow! I have lived in RP for 10 years now and have never had a problem. I like the diversity here. Though I'm aware of the violence that can happen. Just several weeks ago a lady and her husband were on Morse at the redline station. The lady was shot dead in a drive by.

Update here from a friend of the victim who posted on FB:• The man was not mugged• The video system worked fine• Police reviewed the video• The man fell down the stairs without any witnesses there to help• Thieves came by minutes later and stole his wallet

a guy is down and evidently unable to respond - and someone steals his wallet. Not what you would call a "first class" response. Shameful. They should be caught and charged with murder as they could have instead called for assistance and saved his life.

@Jeffrey Littleton - Fascinating question. In no way do I want to minimize the tragedy of an accidental death and I agree that taking an advantage of such a situation is a pretty sad commentary. Still, is there a crime if there is no complaint?
